        The purpose of this article is twofold: Existentialism as a philosophical discipline and ethical reference point seems to be a rare guest in ecocriticism. Based on an analysis of Lyra Koli's climate fiction Allting Växer (2018) this article argues that existentialism has something to offer to the ecocritical field. I make use of an econarratological approach, drawing on James Phelan's narrative ethics. Thus, I emphasize the article's second purpose, as narrative ethics is about reconstructing narratives own ethical standards rather than the reader bringing a prefabricated ethical system to the narrative. This reading practice can help to question the idea that some ethical and philosophical standards are better than others within ecocriticism—by encouraging scholars in ecocriticism to relate to what existentialism has to do with climate change in this specific case. In continuation of my analysis, I argue that Allting Växer is pointing at a positive side of existentialist concepts such as anxiety or anguish, that is, that there is a reflecting and changing potential in these moods or experiences. This existentialist framework contrasts with the interpretation of "Anthropocene disorder" (Timothy Clark) as the only outcome when confronting the complexity of the Anthropocene.

Use Of Social Media

<p align="justify">Modern human life now is living in and with social media. Social media with the power of the internet network influences the lives and actions of modern humans, including youth, and students. With the character of the network, providing fast information, archiving a lot of data, interactive, and creating content freely, social media can be seen as the most popular media, compared to conventional media, such as radio, television, magazines, and newspapers. There are many benefits obtained from social media as a learning medium to get to know the world more broadly. However, there are also many dangers posed by the use of social media. The dangers that arise can come from health, social, and even social ethical and moral problems. For this reason, the use of social media should follow generally accepted ethical standards in society. Adhering to ethical standards is the key to placing social media as public media. Social media is a tool that serves the public's need for information. The ethics of using social media is a gate keeper for filtering information. With ethics, the use of social media can be directed towards responsible and meaningful self-development in life together. Self-development can occur when social media is used from the context of needs, especially learning needs, making friends, and building positive networks with others. Social media is a reality that cannot be denied, but we can adjust it as needed.</p><p align="justify"><em> </em></p>

The Government

Disclosing environmental information is essential for listed firms to demonstrate social conscience. To fulfill government and public media supervision, Chinese listed firms are increasing the quality and quantity of disclosed environmental information. This elicits a new topic of interest: the correlation between media/government supervision and corporate environmental information disclosure (EID). The paper addresses this issue through data analysis and factor correlation study in data from some high-pollution firms in China during 2017–2019. The study first introduces a standardized definition for the quantification of media and government supervision, as well as the degree to which the corporation discloses the environmental information. Then, the correlations between the factors are isolated and refined to three sub-topics: (1) how public media and local government supervision affect the quality of corporate EID; (2) how is the interactive effect of public media and government supervision related to corporate EID; (3) how is the distinct ownership of corporate affect the government supervision on corporate EID. The concluding result from the above factor analysis could provide guidance for authorities to adjust certain laws and regulations so that the media and government supervision better motivates the corporate EID, and furthermore, better sustainable development of ecological environment.

The Fridays for Future strikes involve students striking for increased action on climate change, and this movement has spread to 185 countries and received widespread media attention. This exploratory study investigates motives for participating or not in the climate strikes and future participation among students in Switzerland. In a sample of N = 638 university students, we found that trust in climate scientists, low trust in governments, response efficacy, protest enjoyment and the perceived success of the strikes predicted participation. Contrary to statements in the public media but consistent with the literature, students who participated in the climate strikes reported consuming less meat, flying less and taking more steps to compensate the CO2 emissions from flights compared to students who did not participate. We discuss how the insights from this study help reveal the determinants of youth collective action on climate change.

Climate change and global warming are challenging for humanity. International cooperation and the formation of joint approaches to solving global challenges are of paramount importance for sustainable development. Like many countries in the region, Ukraine threatens to increase the number of natural disasters, floods in the Carpathians, transformation southern region steppe into the desert, flooding coastal parts and a shortage of drinking water in the central and eastern regions. Thus, this study explores the international mechanism of the environmental information access as a complex multi-level system, which determines various types of international cooperation. Environmental information access is of great practical importance both for humanity as a whole and for further reformation of the legislation of individual countries in order to ensure sustainable development, as well as to improve the practical activities of civil society. The findings show the need for people`s lifestyle changes, their environmental education and work. We therefore propose the international mechanism of the environmental information access as cooperation framework which enables companies and business communities more effectively and creatively solve economic and social problems.Keywords: Environmental information, information human rights, sustainable development, EU environmental policy, environmental human rights
